A coupled hydro-mechanical erosion model is presented that is used for studying soil piping and erosion void formation under practical, in-situ conditions. The continuum model treats the soil as a two-phase porous medium composed of a solid phase and a liquid phase, and accounts for its elasto-plastic deformation behaviour caused by frictional sliding and granular …
